New and noteworthy

New rules

  • The new Java rule {% rule "java/codestyle/FinalParameterInAbstractMethod" %} detects parameters that are declared as final in interfaces or abstract methods. Declaring the parameters as final is useless because the implementation may choose to not respect it.
    <rule ref="category/java/codestyle.xml/FinalParameterInAbstractMethod" />

The rule is part of the quickstart.xml ruleset.

Modified rules

  • The Apex rule {% rule "apex/documentation/ApexDoc" %} has a new property reportProperty. If set to false (default is true if unspecified) doesn't report missing ApexDoc comments on properties. It allows you to enforce ApexDoc comments for classes and methods without requiring them for properties.
